Schadenfreude 101 (A Continuing Series)

In Game 1, Rangers manager Ron Washington gumped away a win that he had nestled securely in his back pocket and the New York media acted like the Yankees had done something heroic by simply accepting the generous gift.

After that demoralizing loss, I expected Texas to curl up into a little ball of goo and whimper until their official elimination finally came, but they attacked the Phranchise early in Game 2 and romped to a 7-2 win.

The Yankees' three baserunners were the fewest they've ever had in a postseason game and the 8-0 loss was the worst post-season shutout in Yankees history. Thousands of loyal fans gave up and went home before it was over.In a must-win Game 4, the Yankees' season rests on the not-so-broad shoulders of A.J. Burnett. ... Rut Roh, Rankees!New York now needs to win three games in a row to avoid facing Mr. Lee in Game 7 in Texas.

but who knows, maybe the dick will throw a perfect game. don't count on it.

also, during the part of the game i was watching, rogers had buffy and zorro providing between inning "analysis" - there was one point where zaun relentlessly ragged on yankee stadium for the whole 60 seconds, regarding josh's cheapie HR in the first. it was great.

It was lovely to sit in the Bar and hear the Yankee fans cheer for a two-out walk, groan with relief when Hamilton's fly to the warning track didn't go out, and then see Robertson spray shit all over the field.

Yeah, Tim, there's no law against Butt-head pitching well.

I have been up very early to get things done so I can watch the Giants at 1:20 my time today. Wish I had a ticket.

Rangers-Giants WS? We can hope.

I will get an alt thread up today as I did not do over the weekend (sorry).

It will be the most amazing thing if he goes out there tonight and pitches well...If he doesn't Giradi and Cashman will have a lot of people to answer to do, and to add insult to injury , he starts Cervelli.......How does this clown get a personal catcher, Jorgie must be pissed...
